My first reaction to reading the Proust excerpts was that the ideas that he attempts to talk about are very bold and abstract. His ideas sometimes do not really flow one after the other and they are very sporadic in where they are placed throughout his writings. When he brings in a new point and begins to elaborate on it, he is also very direct in what he is trying to say and does not sway from what he believes. He does not These were a few of the main things that stood out at a first glance from his writings than others that we have read in this class.
From a comprehension standpoint, the fact that his ideas flow irregularly and normally in long, dragged out sentences made it somewhat harder for me to understand all the points he was trying to make. But I thought many of his topics were relatable such as the experience of waking up from a deep sleep and not knowing basically anything such as where you currently are.
